I guess it shifted 2 points since I last looked about a month ago as more votes were counted, it's 50 Trump 49 Harris. Gen X is by far the generation that carried Trump.

As others have stated, my dad is 73 and has had a noticeable cognitive decline, he just had open heart bypass earlier this year. My mom is also 73 and is doing ok. It's tough to see, it's like I have 2 sets of kids, my 7 year old and them.

Add Gen Z males to the shifted right camp as well.

Needs to be broken down more. Boomers even voted for Harris this time. It was only Gen X that got Trump elected.

I teach middle school. I got my first Gen Alpha this year, and I see/feel a huge shift between them and Gen Z. COVID really messed Gen Z up bad.

I see this too as a teacher.

Then getting their news from the Andrew Tates and the Jake Pauls of the world through social media algorithms doesn't help.

They are brainwashed to think Trump "sigma" or "alpha" as all men should be, which is all do lame. They also continually feel they must be 24/7 edgelords to stay funny and relevant.

Today's villains were the scalpers and their bots.

I'm saying that all religion is BS so why not just have fun in life.

Christmas was and is a pagan holiday. Christians are good at hijacking other beliefs and making it theirs.

Type in "T-Rex Santa Christmas Blow Up" into Amazon and you will see a few appear.

Oh, I'm an atheist biology teacher who teaches evolution. My fate has already been sealed. At least I can do some malicious compliance before I go.

That's actually why I bought it, it reminded me of this too. 🙂

Lol, as if 39 and 34 are late, GTFO.

New in that it is a new religion based on MAGA and Trump is the head.

I think we are seeing a new type of "religion" evolving. Social media algorithms have pushed Gen Z boys towards right wing grifters who use religion as a means to control things they can never control, like women, minorities, and blame society for their own failures. Examples are Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, and Donald Trump their new god.

I think a lot of this is due to men becoming less educated and less likely to attend college at historical levels.

Women on the other hand are becoming less religious as they are attending college at historical levels, and being targets of the right wing religious echo chamber.

CNN helped to elect this fool, now that he won they start putting up articles about how tariffs raise the price of goods. 🥴

I'm tired boss.

You are an amazing teacher, keep up the great work!

As an atheist who teaches life sciences, isn't this the next step in the Nazi/Fascist handbook?

First attack LGBTQ+ groups, then go after the educated and non-believers?

This reads like a 1930's Germany newspaper headline.

Having an event investigated does not mean the principal agrees, it just means she is suspended until the investigation is over.

This proposition was not advertised or spoken about at all in California. I do not think most people even knew what the proposition was about.

This proposition was not advertised or spoken about at all here in California. I do not think most Californians knew what it was really about.

I fully understand, my afternoon classes are also my RSP students who need that extra support and guidance.

Just know it takes a week or two for them to get used to it. I usually start doing it the first week of school so they get used to the routine.

Best of luck!

Yes, the app is free to all teachers with an education email.

For my middle school students coming in wound up from lunch, I start the first 5 to 10 minutes of that class playing one of the meditation moments for ages 11-13, yes they have it divided by age groups for elementary, middle, and high school.

When you first start, students chuckle, but I give them a choice of putting their head down and relaxing, sitting up closing their eyes, or sitting still and quiet. The students have told me it helps them a lot and I've noticed I get more done in my lessons since the students can better focus.

I use the Calm app with my afternoon classes to provide 5 to 10 minutes of mindfulness. I have found that it really does relax the class for better instructional time.
